Experts ‘Concerned’ Because Long Valley Caldera Volcano Is ‘Moving’ – High Number Of Earthquakes ‘Indicators Of Pending Volcanic Eruption’
by Stefan Stanford, All News Pipeline:
Long Valley Caldera near Mammoth Lakes has experts “concerned” because over the last 100 days the volcano has been “acting up” as NewsPrepper describes it and the unusual amount of Earthquakes that have hit Mammoth lake over the last month means all eyes should be carefully watching these earthquakes and especially this particular volcano.
In 1915, Lassen Peak erupted and wrecked a huge portion of the state. Over the last 100 days, the much larger Long Valley Caldera has begun acting-up. And what it’s doing has Geologists at the US Geological Survey “concerned.” The Caldera – the mouth of the Volcano – is . . . . moving.
According to scientific instruments monitored by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) the area in vicinity of the Long Valley caldera is deforming and moving rapidly compared to previous records. How sure are they? “95% (confidence interval), the (data) ensemble is significant”
The data is showing on a recent timespan that the amount of movement is causing STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRAIN in the rock in the area. This is not conspiracy-theorist conjecture or amateur geology antics, this is from the USGS itself.
According to a March report found at AOL science and tech news, this massive super volcano “has the potential to unleash a fiery hell across the planet, and the magma-filled mountain has a history of doing so.” While the article downplayed the likelihood of an imminent eruption, the article was written before the 1,000+ EQ that are being reported on now.
The article goes on to state:
Approximately 760,000 years ago, this super volcano in particular had a massive eruption on an apocalyptic scale that blanketed the United States region in molten lava and ash.
And if such were to occur again, molten rock would not only incinerate the Earth for thousands of miles, but the toxic ash spewing from the opening of the crust would temporarily block out the rays of the sun, which scientists say would cause temperatures to fall to levels not seen since the Ice Age.
Billions of people will be affected if this volcano blows, and the reason for the concern isn’t just over the activity of the last 30 days, as we see from the the screen shots below from the global incident map from just today, shown below.
